BC is officially removing the consumer carbon tax as of April 1st.
With the federal government removing the federal carbon tax on consumers, the B.C. government is halting the scheduled tax increase and tabling legislation on March 31st to remove the tax, effective April 1st.
The Province says it is notifying fuel sellers and natural gas retailers now so they can take action to stop collecting the tax from consumers as of that date.
While the government removes the carbon tax on people, the Province says it will continue to ensure big industrial emitters pay their fair share through the output-based carbon pricing system.
The system holds large industrial emitters accountable and offers cost-effective ways to cut emissions.
